石油设备网讯 据彭博新闻社2019年5月14日利雅得报道，沙特阿拉伯周二在利雅得说，身份不明的无人机袭击了沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）旗下的两个重要泵站，迫使这家国有石油巨头暂停了该地区的一些油气生产作业来评估损失。石油价格因此大幅上涨。
国营沙特通讯社（SPA）援引该国能源部的话报道说，这两个泵站与一条从东部油田向西部沿海港口延布输送石油的巨型管道相连。SPA称，这条输油管道现已被暂停输油，沙特阿美正在努力恢复这条重要输油管道，沙特石油出口仍在正常进行。
这次无人机袭击发生在海湾地区紧张局势加剧之际。周一，沙特阿拉伯表示，其两艘油轮在驶向霍尔木兹海峡时遭到袭击，这是4艘遭到“蓄意破坏”油轮中的两艘。霍尔木兹海峡是全球最重要的石油运输咽喉。
沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋都没有具体说明油轮发生了什么，也没有指明潜在的肇事者。然而，被击中的一艘油轮的经理说，这艘油轮在阿联酋海岸附近被一个不明物体击中后，船体上出现了一个洞。
据反对派控制的萨巴通讯社报道，邻国也门胡塞民兵组织当天早些时候表示，他们使用7架无人机袭击了沙特的关键设施。

Drones Attack Saudi Aramco Pumping Stations
Saudi Arabia said Tuesday that unidentified drones attacked two pumping stations belonging to Saudi Aramco, forcing the state oil company to suspend some operations in the area to assess the damage. Oil prices rose.
The stations are linked to a giant pipeline transporting oil from fields in the eastern sector to the port of Yanbu on the western coast, state-run Saudi Press Agency reported, citing the Energy Ministry. The pipeline has been halted, but Aramco is working to restore the link and Saudi oil exports are continuing as normal, SPA said.
The attack comes amid rising tensions in the Gulf. On Monday, Saudi Arabia said two of its oil tankers were among several vessels attacked while sailing toward the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important chokepoint for oil shipments.
Neither Saudi Arabia nor the U.A.E. said exactly what happened to the tankers or identified potential culprits. The manager of one of the tankers hit said, however, that the vessel had got a hole in its hull after being struck by an unknown object off the coast of the United Arab Emirates.
Houthi rebels in neighboring Yemen said earlier in the day that they had targeted key Saudi installations using seven drones, according to the rebel-controlled Saba news agency.
